Davids business philosophy is that leaders of small-to-medium-sized businesses must often accomplish great things with limited resources. Adapting to challenging current circumstances while preparing for the future provides us with an understanding of the importance of flexibility and resilience. Our people are our greatest asset. We lead by example and at the same time learn from our people. Communication is essential, and relating well to both workers and board members will enable enduring progress. When our employees realize that we dont profess to have all the answers, but are willing to work through any challenges while encouraging active participation by others, we benefit and grow together. David is grateful to be part of the body of Christ and called to help business leaders actively serve others through the marketplace.
